Question

Where are the valence electrons of an atom present?

  1. Near to the nucleus
  2. Next to the first shell
  3. Last shell
  4. Shell behind the outermost shell

hintHint:

The valence electrons are present in the last shell which is the valence shell.

The correct answer is: Last shell


    • The valence shell is the outermost shell of an atom.
    • The electrons in the valence shell are called valence electrons and the electrons in the inner shells are known as core electrons. 
    • The reactivity and chemical bonding capacity of the atoms are determined by the valence electrons which is present in the last shell.
